    St Thomas Drag Track

    This makes me happy....IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE 2020 SCHEDULE AT OUT SISTER TRACK GRAND BEND MOTORPLEX.)
    There are basically only 3 dedicated/operational drag facilities in the province and with the way regulations etc are going the chance that anymore will ever get built/approved is limited at best, so we need to invest in the ones we have.

    To bring this historic facility up to date, there are substantial improvements planned – Repaving & Grinding of the race surface, updated PA system, Washroom improvements, overall facility cleanup etc.

    Good to hear. I haven't been to St. Thomas for years, but definitely prefer it there to Cayuga when wanting to go fast in a straight line for the day.

    I remember seeing a rail run off the end of the track at St. Thomas many many many years ago when the chute didn't open and it disappear into the corn...it ended good! Been a long time since I've been thru Sparta.

    I've heard that the Grand Bend drag strip will be shutting down in 2 years - anyone else hear that?
